North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un again rumored to be dead
2020-04-25
OK, now I'm getting convinced. Still 24 48 hr rule
[NY Post] Kim Jong Un is rumored to be dead, according to a Hong Kong broadcast network, while a Japanese magazine is reporting that North Korea’s rocket man is in a "vegetative state" after he underwent heart surgery earlier this month.

A vice director of HKSTV Hong Kong Satellite Television, a Beijing-backed broadcast network in Hong Kong, claimed that Kim was dead, citing a "very solid source." Her post on the Chinese messaging app Weibo has been shared widely on social media, according to a report in the International Business Times.

Other unconfirmed reports, attributed to senior party sources in Beijing, said an operation to insert a stent went wrong because the surgeon’s hands were shaking so badly.

#26  I've long hoped (based on Iran stories) that the silver lining of Covid-19 could be that it removes the cancerous political leaders of the world. Yes teh replacement could be worse, but they could also be a lot better.

Commie press: Mr. President. As you know, we in the media hate your guts and liberals despise your existence. So I must ask...How do you sleep at night??
